There's A Star Above The Manger Tonight Lyrics

Brandy and Rye, the Magpies are stirring
lay down your last twenty dollars

Shepherds are dead sober, whispering numbers
there's a star above the manger tonight

the Devil gets wise when you start to win
dead from your pleasures too soon

horseflies are flying slow, heavy from your remains

silver green, many mansions above us
wash up your hands before you dive in

sweet baby Jesus, give me luck at the tables
there's a star above the manger tonight

turn down the lighthouse low
let the lost keep staying lost

Shepherds are dead sober, whispering numbers
there's a star above the manger tonight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
